I know how much of a pain the wait is, just a point, you credit history should have no bearing on the application, also your kids passports being expired for a couple of months should not cause any problems. My passport had expired in Dec 2005 and I had not renewed by the time I applied last month, ...
Yeha just got the naturalisation approval letter in the Brown Envelope! I have updated my time line above but basically it's taken just under 4 weeks. Tomorrow would be exactly 4 weeks from when to the NCS in Leicestershire! This forum has been a great help, and I would like to thank everyone who ha...
What has birth cert got to do with a WP? I would like to know myself because a bcert isnt needed unless you are going for the "heavy weight" visa's. I need to ask my boss this question. I think it might be so that they can check my background, and make sure I havnt blown anything up or co...
Jeff I think the work permit thing goes back to when the NHS trusts were insisting on Doctors/Medical people having WPs even thuough they already had valid right to work in the UK. There were a bunch of posts in here regarding this a little while ago.
Coming from the same part of the world, this has always been a worry for me, that is why I guard my passport with my life. I get very nervous when it has to be posted around, eg for drivers licence, visa applications, etc.

Silly question, but why do you have to refer to them using a colour?

I think that my one is perfectly filled as it has been done by the solicitor with 25 years experience and I attached every possible document I had, so I think that it would be quite unfair for it to be left unopen for several months only becouse it did not arrive throuh NCS. Unless you have a parti...
Well here goes, fingers crossed it comes through quick: NCS or Postal : NCS If NCS, which centre : Leicestershire (By appointment) Date of submission or posting : 11 July 2006 CRITERIA - 5 yr stay (4 + 1 yr ILR) : 4 years on WP + 1 yr ILR Date of debit of debit/credit card : 12 July 2006 Date of rec...
To be perfectly honest I think you will come up against strong resistance from the immigration officer. You say you'll be arriving with one day to go before your WHM visa expires, I think that will be grounds enough for refusal to enter the UK. Additionally I would seriously not recommend you overst...
I think you will find that you will have minimal questioning when you go through the UK Passport holders line at the airport. You will have no restrictions, an you'll be able to do whatever you want. The only restriction I can think of is people who will be attending a University for a full time cou...
I remember seeing this, when travelling from Jo'Burg, they were scanning everyones passports (full pages) and it looked like they were going on to USB keys of some sort. You did have the option to opt out, it was a home office initiative as all the equipment and signs had the homeoffice stamps all o...
oops slightly misread the post! Did not realise they are proposing seperate requirements for Scotland, sounds a bit silly as what is stopping someone from moving after they get settlement. I'm sure they could easily do some checks, but its just adds complications to the whole process.
The granting of residency after 2 years is only a suggestion, and only for the equivalent of HSMP in the new system. Also is proposed to be only for 'high flyers' according to the command document.

Calling it a privilege implies that we should be grateful and subservient. I really don't know where you get your ideas from. Grateful and subservient? :roll: I suppose we can all live our own dream worlds. Actually the argument that in a borderless world all poor people from all over the world wou...
I had to write my own bit for this section! I work in a client facing role so mine went something like this: Has gained specialised knowledge of the way our business works Has significant contact with existing recurring clients and has extensive knowledge of their businesses and industries that has ...
You have group's of people group A, group B, group C, Group X. All of them have to fill full certain requirements in order qualify for ILR, lets say that period is 4 years. Then the rules are changed and group's A, B & C now have to complete 5 years. Group X stay's at 4 years. There is no relev...
Despite what anyone thinks, these people are willing to defend the queen and country so that people like us (including you) can enjoy the benefits of immigrating and living in a country like the UK. Perhaps one year less on ILR is not enough for people like this? Err...I'm sorry, remind me again, w...
This is deliberate discrimination as these soldiers are in the army sitting out there four years and then applying for ILR just like the WP HSMP's and AV's were doing. Do you have proof of this? And what sort of numbers are we talking about here? I doubt they are just 'sitting out' I'm sure they co...
